High in the middle of the Balkan Mountains in central Bulgaria is an abandoned communist complex.

It has been abandoned for over 20 years and is closed to the public, mainly because it is constantly disintegrating, posing a potential danger to everyone who enters. To enter, you have to slide right through the broken hatch that is locked from the building’s entrance. Note the stray reinforcement emerging from the concrete. On windy days, metal can jump off the roof. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
